Most of my coworkers are married so they either talk about their kids or grandchildren and vacation trips.
I’m still single and a bit of a workaholic so I can’t really relate to them.

Sure it’s a fox and not a wolf?
Yes, I would like to see the lion.
Btw, I got my partner reading Overlord. He’s made it to book two.

Can he make an account? I Deep L so the language barrier shouldn’t be a problem.
Wolves don’t usually have quite such bushy tails, and a smiling face.
This is a throwback to when people thought that lions looked like dogs.

Likely not 
He’s not an online chatty, writerly person like we are and it’s super rare he’s even picked up a book. I had to persuade him.

I thought the same thing! XD
But they’re wolves, apparently.

One YouTuber I liked in the past turned out to be a horrible person. Another YouTuber I watched a lot and liked recently in the last year turned out to be a horrible person. Both of them are really, really bad. I can’t even believe people like that exist.
Has this ever happened where someone you subscribed to and loved their content, turned out to actually be horrible people?
And they, of course, do not take accountability.

I keep my ear to the ground and listen in, so I have not been too recently surprised.

HERE I talk about fictional wartime stories without spoilers
I don’t want to read anymore war stories
Fictional stories about war are great for learning about war, but it’s okay to say that “I don’t want to read anymore war stories”. Saying this doesn’t mean you’re saying war stories are pointless. You are allowed to just not want to read fictional war stories.
I’ve read so many fictional war stories, I can now compare them to each other.
All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr was good in description and with beautiful prose and in really making me believe in the stories of the characters. Made me understand both sides and made me root for both.
But the ending dragged on even after the two main characters were no longer the focus of the narrative. It was weird to read about characters that I knew or felt nothing about. It dragged on so long, I was actually getting bored and annoyed and was glad when it finally finished
I really did not need most of the end and I didn’t care to know what happened to one character in their old age because of the dragging story. Totally unnecessary and felt like the author didn’t want the story to end. That being said, if I ignore that dragging ending, I did enjoy it. So, I do say this is a good book. Because up to a point, it was wonderful 
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah was really good in making me believe in one of the MCs, but not in her sister much. The sister was too…too much like a young adult drama character and her actions were unbelievable. And a lot of her plot was unbelievable. I know there were many brave women in history, but there was nothing to make me believe her story was inspired by any of them. Seemed way too good to be true.
However, the ending was well done because one of the MCs in their old age in the present day was peppered in tastefully throughout the story. It did not feel like a weird time skip or drag of the story at the end. It was so nice to get closure with many of the supporting characters because the story made me care about them. Anthony Doerr’s book did not make me care about the supporting characters that came up in the last few chapters. Kristin Hannah’s book did.
Citadel by Kate Mosse also took place in the same wartime as the other two. She is just such an excellent writer. I have nothing bad to say 
The research she puts into her stories, you can really tell she put so much effort into it. Everything felt real. Even the romance. The romance in Kristin Hannah’s book wasn’t so believable. Almost like it was there to break up the violence.
But Kate Mosse made the romance a part of the story and made you wish so deep and hard that the two main characters will find each other again 
Citadel was SO good. I read it as a standalone (totally possible despite being the third part of a series).
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini does not take place in the exact same wartime as the other three books, but since it is another wartime book, I’ll mention it. I knew this was a five star book when I had passed the midsection. Nothing bad to say about this. Every single thing was believable. It was a wonderful, wonderful sad, real, shocking, and touching story, and I just fell in love with the characters. The ending was perfect for this story. Easiest five star. So easy.
I tried hard not to spoil anything. Have you guys read any of these books? Are there any that interest you?

I’ve discovered horrible YouTubers, but never subscribed to them. That’s why I’m hesitant to subscribe to anyone there, even the YouTubers I like. I’m always worried that they’ll turn out to have a dark side. ˓(ᑊᘩᑊ⋆)

I’ve been thinking the same thing recently: that maybe they have a dark side
I don’t want to doubt them, but I can’t help it. I hope the ones I’ve already subscribed to aren’t secretly horrible people

All The Light We Cannot See and A Thousand Splendid Suns are sitting on my Kindle right now, but I’m not in the mood to read either one at the moment. They both seem to have heavy themes, and I’ve been in the mood for something light lately. I just finished Song of Achilles not long ago and that’s depressed me to bits, so I’m just not ready for anything depressing right now. But if you haven’t read it, I soooooo recommend it! Just get ready to cry, even though it ultimately has a happy ending. .·´¯(>▂<)´¯·.

If you want something light and good…I was going to suggest Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, but that had some dark themes in it. Have you read it?
How about…well, no, that was depressing…what about… uhhh I’m realizing I don’t read many light books XD
I did love Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella and that was light and fun, but it’s been forever since I’ve read it, so I can’t really remember the story.

Mine is more questionable, don’t worry.
I am at a loss for words right now in order to explain the appeal of Ten, but I appreciate the grayness of the conflict.
